Watching Harry in TKD closely tonight I noticed one important thing.
Harry did not listen ONCE to what he was being told.
Everything he did he was visually copying either the teacher or another student. All verbal commands to him - even direct were ignored or uncomprehended until he was shown an example of what to do. It was like he didnt hear what was being said to him at all - completely tuned out.
Fortunately, the teacher Master Chueng moved Harry right to the front swapping another student out so that Harry could be right there at the front. This meant the teacher was able to correct Harry on each exercise and move. Even during the visual demonstrations Harry would look in the mirror rather than listen to the teacher. He would wait until everyone started moving and copy their actions.
Harry needs to go through the four steps of listening again - ears, eyes, mind, body again.
